ATTENTION SERIOUS JAZZ COLLECTORS!

HERE IS A REAL ONE-OFF DEAL!

A PACKAGE OF 5 ORIGINAL MONO 1950s  10 INCH ACETATES WITH MUSIC ON BOTH SIDES-MANY ACETATES ARE SINGLE SIDED!

4 ARE BRITISH AND 1 IS FRENCH. 

ONE OF THE MOST INTERESTING LOTS YOU WILL SEE ON EBAY FOR YEARS AND UNLIKELY TO BE EVER OFFERED FOR SALE AGAIN!

POSSIBLY THE ONLY COPIES IN EXISTENCE!

THERE MAY HAVE BEEN COMMERCIAL ISSUES OF THESE  TRACKS BUT THEY MAY WELL BE ALTERNATIVE VERSIONS!

EITHER WAY,WHAT ARE THE CHANCES OF FINDING THESE IS ACETATE FORM OVER 50 YEARS LATER???!!!!!!! 

A FASCINATING AND WONDERFUL SET AND IN PLAYABLE CONDITION WITH SOME MARKS AND SOME SURFACE NOISE BUT PLAY WELL WHEN MOST ACETATES DO NOT SURVIVE MORE THAN A FEW PLAYS,NOT BEING MADE FOR LONG TERM USE IN MIND!  

THESE ACETATES DO NOT CLEAN UP IN THE WAY VINYL DOES DUE TO VERY DELICATE GROOVES AND THE UNUSUAL MATERIAL USED. 

JUST TO EXPLAIN ACETATES WERE USUALLY MADE TO TEST OUT A PROPOSED ISSUE BEFORE PRODUCTION BEGAN AT THE FACTORY.

THEY WERE SOMETIMES MADE FOR THE ARTISTS INVOLVED OR FOR SELECTIVE MANAGEMENT OR IMPORTANT RECORD REVIEWERS/DJs.

THIS WAS IN THE DAYS OF THE MID 1950s WHEN HARDLY ANYONE HAD A PORTABLE TAPE RECORDER,TAPE BEING VERY EXPENSIVE AND THE INDUSTRY PREFERRED DIRECT TO DISC TESTING!

BEING  METAL BASED DISCS,THEY ARE HEAVY,LOOK UNUSUAL AND HAVE A WONDERFUL SMELL(!!!)BUT THE GROOVES ARE DELICATE,VOLUME LEVELS OFTEN LOWER THAN THE VINYL VERSIONS AND THERE ARE VARIOUS "CLICKS","POPS","SURFACE PATCHES"AND"HISSES",BUT I HAVE TESTED THE DISCS ALL THE WAY THROUGH TO ENSURE NO MAJOR FAULTS SUCH AS JUMPS,STICKS OR NASTY CLICKS.THE GRADING AS SUCH IS  GOOD CONDTION BUT AS MOST ACETATES THAT SURVIVE ARE UNPLAYABLE,MY GRADING SHOULD BE REGARDED AS ULTRA STRICT AND AS SUCH THE GENERAL CONDITION BY MANY WOULD EASILY RATE AS VERY GOOD!

THE DISCS ARE AS FOLLOWS:

CHARLIE PARKER WITH STRINGS-2 ACETATES PLAYING AT 78 RPM:

IF I SHOULD LOSE YOU/APRIL IN PARIS+I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TIME IT WAS+

SUMMERTIME

WOODY HERMAN-A FRENCH ACETATE PLAYING AT 78 RPM(1947/8 TRACKS):

**************************************************************

THESE ACTATES ARE MEGA RARE,QUITE POSSIBLY THE ONLY SURVIVING EXAMPLES IN THE WORLD AND IN PLAYABLE CONDITION!

In the 1950s MOST ACETATES were used with not much care and quickly damaged on the primitive and heavy equipment of the time with disastrous consequences!

MOST WERE THROWN OUT AFTER A FEW PLAYS!THE MAJORITY WOULD NEVER LEAVE THE RECORD COMPANY BUILDING!!!! 

This UNIQUE SET is from the collection of the former Esquire jazz label boss,Peter Newbrook who passed away just over two years ago.

I have been selling many of his carefully preserved records over the last year or so on ebay and you are welcome to trawl through my feedback to see more examples to prove the amazing quality of his collection!

ESQUIRE RECORDS WAS ONE OF THE BEST BRITISH JAZZ RECORD LABELS OF THE 1950s AND 1960s WITH STRONG AMERICAN LINKS AND PETER NEWBROOK WAS ALSO A MUSICIAN,WELL KNOWN TO JAZZ ARTISTS AND OTHER RECORD LABEL BOSSES WORLDWIDE!

HE WAS A VERY MAJOR JAZZ RECORD COLLECTOR AND A HI-FI BUFF!!

NO WONDER HE HAD THIS EXCITING ACETATE IN HIS COLLECTION AND HAD THE VISION TO KEEP THESE SAFELY STORED FOR OVER 50 YEARS IN COVER WHEN MOST ACETATES TURN UP WITH NO COVER AT ALL!! 

I HAVE KEPT THESE ACETATES FOR A WHILE IN MY OWN COLLECTION BUT HAVE DECIDED TO SELL THEM WHICH I KNOW I SHALL REGRET LATER ON,BUT BILLS MUST BE PAID! 

IT IS QUITE PROBABLE THAT ONLY A FEW COPIES WERE MADE OF THESE ACETATES,10 AT THE VERY MOST AS EACH ONE WOULD HAVE TO BE DIRECTLY CUT BY AN ENGINEER!

 CLEAN LABELS WITH NO STAINING OR PEELING. 

THE ACETATES HAVE NO HORRIBLE AGE STAINING OR NASTY DAMP,SMOKEY SMELL!

THE VERY EARLIEST PRESSINGS POSSIBLE!!

 A LOW £25 STARTING PRICE AND FREE UK RECORDED DELIVERY POSTAGE INCLUDED!!!!

BE THE ENVY OF YOUR JAZZ COLLECTOR FREINDS AND OF COURSE THIS IS AN EXCELLENT INVESTMENT FOR THE FUTURE!
